What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to or accessed from your web browser or device’s memory when you use our services. These files typically contain the name of the domain (Internet location) from which the cookie originated, the “lifetime” of the cookie (i.e., when it expires), and a unique identifier that helps us recognize your device. Cookies may also contain information about your device, such as user settings, browsing history, and activities conducted while using our services. We use cookies to provide and personalize our services, as well as to analyze usage and improve our offerings. By using our services, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons and SDKs?

We use cookies and other similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as pixels, tags, or clear gifs), tracking URLs, or software development kits (SDKs) to provide and improve our services. Web beacons are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier, allowing us to recognize when someone has visited our service or opened an email we’ve sent them.

SDKs are small pieces of code included in apps that function like cookies and web beacons.

To simplify matters, we refer to all of these technologies as “cookies” in this Cookie Policy.
